Musicophile Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 One of my first five high-res download I ever bought from Qobuz, back in 2012. Can't believe it's now been nearly 10 years I've been buying high-res stuff. Does anybody remember when you purchased your last CD? The album is still excellent. 24/96.

I have continued to buy some that are not available for DL, or that the quality of the DL does not satisfy me. As for Hi Rez I have my doubts, some turn out to be upsampling and I prefer my DAC to do it. Qobuz is very credible to me and I don't have Roon. Roch Link to comment
Piano1 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 This is an all solo piano recording, including "Gaspard de la nuit," "La Valse," "Daphne et Chloe" scene 3, and other pieces. Wonderful playing and sound. DeathFugue 1 Link to comment
jiminlogansquare Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Missing from the title, this is music by Monteverdi. Link to comment
jiminlogansquare Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 This just won a 2021 Grammy for MTT as conductor of works he also composed, and I admit I learned that he was a composer for the first time today when I saw this had won the award (for Best Classical Compendium). sphinxsix 1 Link to comment

MarkusBarkus Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 ...man, when "Lovin' You" came out in '74 or '75 it was like listening to an angel. I think only dogs could hear her upper register. Minnie Ripperton. The Computer Audiophile 1 I'm MarkusBarkus and I approve this post. Link to comment

So many good gems waiting to be heard. Sorry, wasn't trying to say you should have known of it. Just trying to say it was very well known back in the 70's. I guess since she died young and didn't make a lot more music, memory of her faded. If she can be rediscovered, even through her daughter, it's a good thing.

Which was easy to do ... there was so much interesting music happening then; full time occupation keeping up with it, 🙂. Link to comment
